 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.9.0 - feat(build)
+add verbose build output, progress logging, and timing for builds/tests
+
+- Add 'verbose' option to build/test flows (interfaces, CLI, and method signatures) to allow streaming raw docker build output or run silently
+- Log per-item progress for build and test phases (e.g. (1/N) Building/Testing <tag>) and report individual durations
+- Return elapsed time from Dockerfile.build() and Dockerfile.test() and aggregate total build/test times in manager
+- Introduce formatDuration(ms) helper in logging module to format timings
+- Switch from console.log to structured logger calls across cache, manager, dockerfile and push paths
+- Use silent exec variants when verbose is false and stream exec when verbose is true
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.8.0 - feat(build)
+add optional content-hash based build cache to skip rebuilding unchanged Dockerfiles
+
+- Introduce TsDockerCache to compute SHA-256 of Dockerfile content and persist cache to .nogit/tsdocker_support.json
+- Add ICacheEntry and ICacheData interfaces and a cached flag to IBuildCommandOptions
+- Integrate cached mode in TsDockerManager: skip builds on cache hits, verify image presence, record builds on misses, and still perform dependency tagging
+- Expose --cached option in CLI to enable the cached build flow
+- Cache records store contentHash, imageId, buildTag and timestamp
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.7.0 - feat(cli)
+add CLI version display using commitinfo
+
+- Imported commitinfo from './00_commitinfo_data.js' and called tsdockerCli.addVersion(commitinfo.version) to surface package/commit version in the Smartcli instance
+- Change made in ts/tsdocker.cli.ts — small user-facing CLI enhancement; no breaking changes
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.6.0 - feat(docker)
+add support for no-cache builds and tag built images for local dependency resolution
+
+- Introduce IBuildCommandOptions.noCache to control --no-cache behavior
+- Propagate noCache from CLI (via cache flag) through TsDockerManager to Dockerfile.build
+- Append --no-cache to docker build/buildx commands when noCache is true
+- After building an image, tag it with full base image references used by dependent Dockerfiles so their FROM lines resolve to the locally-built image
+- Log tagging actions and execute docker tag via smartshellInstance
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.5.0 - feat(build)
+add support for selective builds, platform override and build timeout
+
+- Introduce IBuildCommandOptions with patterns, platform and timeout to control build behavior
+- Allow manager.build() to accept options and build only matching Dockerfiles (including dependencies) preserving topological order
+- Add CLI parsing for build/push to accept positional Dockerfile patterns and --platform/--timeout flags
+- Support single-platform override via docker buildx and multi-platform buildx detection
+- Implement streaming exec with timeout to kill long-running builds and surface timeout errors
+
+## 2026-02-04 - 1.4.3 - fix(dockerfile)
+fix matching of base images to local Dockerfiles by stripping registry prefixes when comparing image references
+
+- Added Dockerfile.extractRepoVersion(imageRef) to normalize image references by removing registry prefixes (detects registries containing '.' or ':' or 'localhost').
+- Use extractRepoVersion when checking tagToDockerfile and when mapping local base dockerfiles to ensure comparisons use repo:tag keys rather than full registry-prefixed references.
+- Prevents mismatches when baseImage includes a registry (e.g. "host.today/repo:version") so it correctly matches a local cleanTag like "repo:version".
+
+## 2026-01-21 - 1.4.2 - fix(classes.dockerfile)
+use a single top-level fs import instead of requiring fs inside methods
+
+- Added top-level import: import * as fs from 'fs' in ts/classes.dockerfile.ts
+- Removed inline require('fs') calls and replaced with the imported fs in constructor and test() to keep imports consistent
+- No behavioral change expected; this is a cleanup/refactor to standardize module usage
+
+## 2026-01-20 - 1.4.1 - fix(docs)
+update README: expand usage, installation, quick start, features, troubleshooting and migration notes
+
+- Expanded README content: new Quick Start, Installation examples, and detailed Features section (containerized testing, smart Docker builds, multi-registry push, multi-architecture support, zero-config start)
+- Added troubleshooting and performance tips including registry login guidance and circular dependency advice
+- Updated migration notes from legacy npmdocker to @git.zone/tsdocker (command and config key changes, ESM guidance)
+- Documentation-only change — no source code modified
+
 ## 2026-01-20 - 1.4.0 - feat(tsdocker)
 add multi-registry and multi-arch Docker build/push/pull manager, registry storage, Dockerfile handling, and new CLI commands

 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
+# Global installation (recommended for CLI usage)
 npm install -g @git.zone/tsdocker
-# or for project-local installation
+
+# Or project-local installation
 pnpm install --save-dev @git.zone/tsdocker
 ```
 
 ## Quick Start
 
-### 1. Configure Your Project
+### 🧪 Run Tests in Docker
 
-Create an `npmextra.json` file in your project root:
+The simplest use case — run your tests in a clean container:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker
+```
+
+This pulls your configured base image, mounts your project, and executes your test command in isolation.
+
+### 🏗️ Build Docker Images
+
+Got `Dockerfile` files? Build them all with automatic dependency ordering:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker build
+```
+
+tsdocker will:
+1. 🔍 Discover all `Dockerfile*` files in your project
+2. 📊 Analyze `FROM` dependencies between them
+3. 🔄 Sort them topologically
+4. 🏗️ Build each image in the correct order
+
+### 📤 Push to Registries
+
+Ship your images to one or all configured registries:
+
+```bash
+# Push to all configured registries
+tsdocker push
+
+# Push to a specific registry
+tsdocker push registry.gitlab.com
+```
+

+## Registry Authentication
 
 ### Environment Variables
 
-If you have a `qenv.yml` file in your project, tsdocker automatically loads and injects those environment variables into your test container.
+```bash
+# Pipe-delimited format (supports DOCKER_REGISTRY_1 through DOCKER_REGISTRY_10)
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_1="registry.gitlab.com|username|password"
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_2="docker.io|username|password"
 
-Example `qenv.yml`:
+# Individual registry format
-
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_URL="registry.gitlab.com"
-```yaml
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER="username"
-demoKey: demoValue
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="password"
-API_KEY: your-key-here
 ```
 
-## CLI Commands
+### Login Command
-
-### Standard Test Run
 
 ```bash
-tsdocker
+tsdocker login
 ```
 
-Runs your configured test command in a fresh Docker container.
+Authenticates with all configured registries.
-
-### Clean Docker Environment
-
-```bash
-tsdocker clean --all
-```
-
-⚠️ **WARNING**: This aggressively cleans your Docker environment by:
-
-- Killing all running containers
-- Removing all stopped containers
-- Removing dangling images
-- Removing all images
-- Removing dangling volumes
-
-Use with caution!
-
-### VSCode in Docker
-
-```bash
-tsdocker vscode
-```
-
-Launches a containerized VS Code instance accessible via browser at `testing-vscode.git.zone:8443`.
 
 ## Advanced Usage
 
-### Docker-in-Docker Testing
+### 🔀 Multi-Architecture Builds
 
-If you need to run Docker commands inside your test container (e.g., testing Docker-related tools):
+Build for multiple platforms using Docker Buildx:
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "platforms": ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+tsdocker automatically sets up a Buildx builder when multiple platforms are specified.
+
+### 📦 Dockerfile Naming Conventions
+
+tsdocker discovers files matching `Dockerfile*`:
+
+| File Name | Version Tag |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `Dockerfile` | `latest` |
+| `Dockerfile_v1.0.0` | `v1.0.0` |
+| `Dockerfile_alpine` | `alpine` |
+| `Dockerfile_##version##` | Uses `package.json` version |
+
+### 🔗 Dependency-Aware Builds
+
+If you have multiple Dockerfiles that depend on each other:
+
+```dockerfile
+# Dockerfile_base
+FROM node:20-alpine
+RUN npm install -g typescript
+
+# Dockerfile_app
+FROM myproject:base
+COPY . .
+RUN npm run build
+```
+
+tsdocker automatically detects that `Dockerfile_app` depends on `Dockerfile_base` and builds them in the correct order.
+
+### 🧪 Container Test Scripts
+
+Create test scripts in your test directory:
+
+```bash
+# test/test_latest.sh
+#!/bin/bash
+node --version
+npm --version
+echo "Container tests passed!"
+```
+
+Run with:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker test
+```
+
+### 🔧 Build Args from Environment
+
+Pass environment variables as Docker build arguments:
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "buildArgEnvMap": {
+      "NPM_TOKEN": "NPM_TOKEN",
+      "NODE_VERSION": "NODE_VERSION"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```dockerfile
+ARG NPM_TOKEN
+ARG NODE_VERSION=20
+FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}
+RUN echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}" > ~/.npmrc
+```
+
+### 🐳 Docker-in-Docker Testing
+
+Test Docker-related tools by mounting the Docker socket:
 
 ```json
 {
   "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
     "baseImage": "docker:latest",
-    "command": "docker run hello-world",
+    "command": "docker version && docker ps",
     "dockerSock": true
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Setting `"dockerSock": true` mounts the host's Docker socket into the container.
+### 📋 Listing Dockerfiles
 
-### Custom Base Images
+Inspect your project's Dockerfiles and their relationships:
 
-You can use any Docker image as your base:
+```bash
+tsdocker list
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Discovered Dockerfiles:
+========================
+
+1. Dockerfile_base
+   Tag: myproject:base
+   Base Image: node:20-alpine
+   Version: base
+
+2. Dockerfile_app
+   Tag: myproject:app
+   Base Image: myproject:base
+   Version: app
+   Depends on: myproject:base
+```
+
+### 🗺️ Registry Repo Mapping
+
+Use different repository names for different registries:
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "registries": ["registry.gitlab.com", "docker.io"],
+    "registryRepoMap": {
+      "registry.gitlab.com": "mygroup/myproject",
+      "docker.io": "myuser/myproject"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### qenv Integration
+
+tsdocker automatically loads environment variables from `qenv.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+# qenv.yml
+API_KEY: your-api-key
+DATABASE_URL: postgres://localhost/test
+```
+
+These are injected into your test container automatically.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Test Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "baseImage": "node:20",
+    "command": "npm test"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Full Production Setup
 
 ```json
 {
   "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
     "baseImage": "node:20-alpine",
-    "command": "npm test"
+    "command": "pnpm test",
+    "registries": ["registry.gitlab.com", "ghcr.io", "docker.io"],
+    "registryRepoMap": {
+      "registry.gitlab.com": "myorg/myapp",
+      "ghcr.io": "myorg/myapp",
+      "docker.io": "myuser/myapp"
+    },
+    "buildArgEnvMap": {
+      "NPM_TOKEN": "NPM_TOKEN"
+    },
+    "platforms": ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"],
+    "testDir": "./docker-tests"
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Popular choices:
+### CI/CD Integration
 
-- `node:20` — Official Node.js images
+```yaml
-- `node:20-alpine` — Lightweight Alpine-based images
+# .gitlab-ci.yml
-- `node:lts` — Long-term support Node.js version
+build:
+  stage: build
+  script:
+    - npm install -g @git.zone/tsdocker
+    - tsdocker build
+    - tsdocker push
 
-### CI Integration
+# GitHub Actions
-
+- name: Build and Push
-tsdocker automatically detects CI environments (via `CI=true` env var) and adjusts behavior:
+  run: |
-
+    npm install -g @git.zone/tsdocker
-- Copies project files into container in CI (instead of mounting)
+    tsdocker login
-- Optimizes for CI execution patterns
+    tsdocker build
-
+    tsdocker push
-## Why tsdocker?
+  env:
-
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_1: "ghcr.io|${{ github.actor }}|${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
-### The Problem
-
-Local development environments drift over time. You might have:
-
-- Stale global packages
-- Modified system configurations
-- Cached dependencies
-- Different Node.js versions
-
-Your tests pass locally but fail in CI — or vice versa.
-
-### The Solution
-
-tsdocker ensures every test run happens in a **clean, reproducible environment**, just like your CI pipeline. This means:
-
-✅ Consistent behavior between local and CI
-✅ No dependency pollution between test runs
-✅ Easy cross-platform testing
-✅ Reproducible bug investigations
-
-## TypeScript Usage
-
-tsdocker is built with TypeScript and provides full type definitions:
-
-```typescript
-import type { IConfig } from '@git.zone/tsdocker/dist_ts/tsdocker.config.js';
-
-const config: IConfig = {
-  baseImage: 'node:20',
-  command: 'npm test',
-  dockerSock: false,
-  keyValueObject: {
-    NODE_ENV: 'test',
-  },
-};
 ```
 
 ## Requirements
 
-- **Docker**: Docker must be installed and accessible via CLI
+- **Docker** — Docker Engine or Docker Desktop must be installed
-- **Node.js**: Version 18 or higher (ESM support required)
+- **Node.js** — Version 18 or higher (ESM support required)
+- **Docker Buildx** — Required for multi-architecture builds (included in Docker Desktop)
 
-## How It Works
+## Why tsdocker?
 
-Under the hood, tsdocker:
+### 🎯 The Problem
 
-1. 📋 Reads your `npmextra.json` configuration
+Managing Docker workflows manually is tedious:
-2. 🔍 Optionally loads environment variables from `qenv.yml`
+- Remembering build order for dependent images
-3. 🐳 Generates a temporary Dockerfile
+- Pushing to multiple registries with different credentials
-4. 🏗️ Builds a Docker image with your base image
+- Setting up Buildx for multi-arch builds
-5. 📦 Mounts your project directory (unless in CI)
+- Ensuring consistent test environments
-6. ▶️ Runs your test command inside the container
+
-7. 📊 Captures the exit code
+### ✨ The Solution
-8. 🧹 Cleans up containers and images
+
-9. ✅ Exits with the same code as your tests
+tsdocker automates the entire workflow:
+- **One command** to build all images in dependency order
+- **One command** to push to all registries
+- **Automatic** Buildx setup for multi-platform builds
+- **Consistent** containerized test environments
+
+## TypeScript API
+
+tsdocker exposes its types for programmatic use:
+
+```typescript
+import type { ITsDockerConfig } from '@git.zone/tsdocker/dist_ts/interfaces/index.js';
+import { TsDockerManager } from '@git.zone/tsdocker/dist_ts/classes.tsdockermanager.js';
+
+const config: ITsDockerConfig = {
+  baseImage: 'node:20',
+  command: 'npm test',
+  dockerSock: false,
+  keyValueObject: {},
+  registries: ['docker.io'],
+  platforms: ['linux/amd64'],
+};
+
+const manager = new TsDockerManager(config);
+await manager.prepare();
+await manager.build();
+await manager.push();
+```
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### "docker not found on this machine"
+### "docker not found"
 
-Make sure Docker is installed and the `docker` command is in your PATH:
+Ensure Docker is installed and in your PATH:
 
 ```bash
 docker --version
 ```
 
-### Tests fail in container but work locally
+### Multi-arch build fails
 
-This often indicates environment-specific issues. Check:
+Make sure Docker Buildx is available:
-
-- Are all dependencies in `package.json`? (not relying on global packages)
-- Does your code have hardcoded paths?
-- Are environment variables set correctly?
-
-### Permission errors with docker.sock
-
-If using `dockerSock: true`, ensure your user has permissions to access `/var/run/docker.sock`:
 
 ```bash
-sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+docker buildx version
-# Then log out and back in
+docker buildx create --use
 ```
 
-## Examples
+### Registry authentication fails
 
-### Basic npm test
+Check your environment variables are set correctly:
 
-```json
+```bash
-{
+echo $DOCKER_REGISTRY_1
-  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+tsdocker login
-    "baseImage": "node:20",
-    "command": "npm test"
-  }
-}
 ```
 
-### Running pnpm tests
+### Circular dependency detected
 
-```json
+Review your Dockerfiles' `FROM` statements — you have images depending on each other in a loop.
-{
-  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
-    "baseImage": "node:20",
-    "command": "corepack enable && pnpm install && pnpm test"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Testing Docker-based tools
-
-```json
-{
-  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
-    "baseImage": "docker:latest",
-    "command": "sh -c 'docker version && docker ps'",
-    "dockerSock": true
-  }
-}
-```
 
 ## Performance Tips
 
-🚀 **Use specific base images**: `node:20-alpine` is much faster to pull than `node:latest`
+🚀 **Use specific tags**: `node:20-alpine` is smaller and faster than `node:latest`
-🚀 **Layer caching**: Docker caches image layers — your base image only downloads once
-🚀 **Prune regularly**: Run `docker system prune` periodically to reclaim disk space
 
-## Migration from legacy npmdocker
+🚀 **Leverage caching**: Docker layers are cached — your builds get faster over time
 
-This package was previously published under the `npmdocker` name. It is now available as `@git.zone/tsdocker` with modernized ESM support and updated dependencies.
+🚀 **Prune regularly**: `docker system prune` reclaims disk space
 
-Key changes:
+🚀 **Use .dockerignore**: Exclude `node_modules`, `.git`, etc. from build context
-- Configuration key changed from `npmdocker` to `@git.zone/tsdocker` in `npmextra.json`
+
-- CLI command is now `tsdocker` instead of `npmdocker`
+## Migration from Legacy
-- Full ESM support with `.js` extensions in imports
+
+Previously published as `npmdocker`, now `@git.zone/tsdocker`:
+
+| Old | New |
+|-----|-----|
+| `npmdocker` command | `tsdocker` command |
+| `"npmdocker"` config key | `"@git.zone/tsdocker"` config key |
+| CommonJS | ESM with `.js` imports |
